RE: Infotek Compiler for HP 9000 Series 200/300
Thank you Gentlemen for your answers.

I got a MF 340, so, according to the security notes, the compiler should run on a system equipped with this card. I don't know if this also holds for version 5 of the compiler. This version is available on the the museum site, and it should match my BASIC 5.1 system.
I will test some combinations as soon as I find time, and will report the results here.

@ Martin: A good idea to have a look at the compiler binary using a hex editor!
A DOS DIO card seems to be a very rare item, never even heard of it, sorry.
I'd guess there is only HP-UX support for it. For HP BASIC ( or PASCAL), the software offerings are poor. For example, you need HP-UX to run compilers for languages like FORTRAN or C.

Does the card host a 80286/ 87 ? Or even 80386/87 ?
The opposite variant - a "HP BASIC Coprocessor" ISA card ( with 68030, 68882 ) for DOS PCs - is more common.
